With a population of around 64 residents, Yellow Pinch is a quiet rural community at the edge of the Kosciuszko National Park buffer zone.
The Yellow Pinch Wildlife Management Area forms part of the locality, supporting diverse native fauna including eastern quolls, gliders, and birdlife in the surrounding eucalypt forests.
